Chapter 1587 You Can’t Live without Going Crazy.

The disastrous defeats in two consecutive games made the Suns players seem to have a dark cloud above their heads. No team can face such a disadvantage and remain indifferent, from the ecstasy of sweeping the old rival Spurs 4-0 to being beaten by the Lakers. Luo Chenchen, all this happened too fast, so fast that the veterans and newcomers had no time to react.

Now, even though the Suns have returned to their home court, they can still be described as gloomy.

In front of Gentry, in addition to the shattered morale problem, there is also a more severe challenge, that is, how can they change to have a chance to win.

The issue of morale is easy to say. Although he has just taken office for one season, Gentry has already gained the trust of the players with his record. In addition, there are experienced veterans like Nash, Grant Hill and Stoudemire on the team, so After a night of adjustments, they regained their morale and stood up again.

But the most troublesome thing is the tactical issue.

The disastrous defeats in the first two games told the Suns a cruel fact. The Lakers' strength is too terrifying. It is impossible to cause trouble to the Lakers using the previous tactics against the Spurs, so the top priority is to come up with a tactic that is enough to win.

This is easier said than done. Every tactical change cannot be achieved overnight, let alone in the playoffs where time is tight. The third game of the playoffs will be held on May 24th. Today is already the 22nd. In other words, the sun still has less than two days to adjust.

This seems to be an impossible task, but fortunately, Gentry still has two brushes, and he decided to bring everything back to its origins!

"Guys, we were defeated. We were defeated miserably. To be honest, we had no power to fight back. We were like clowns, making people laugh."

"But no matter how bad things happened, we came back, didn't we? We still had a chance, we haven't been knocked down yet, we were 2-0 down but six teams had done it in this situation before. Comeback, why don't we do the seventh one, not to mention, we are the best at comebacks, right?" Gentry spread his hands and said.

To be honest, Gentry is a qualified speaker, at least compared to his predecessor, he is obviously better at inflaming the emotions of players.

As expected, the atmosphere of the Suns players was flapping by Gentry's butterfly wings. At least compared to last night's lifelessness, they now have the strength to fight.

But this is not enough, they also need tactics!

"Offense! Offense is the only way to solve the problem. I admit that I took it for granted before. I wanted to use defense to limit them, but obviously, this is not what we are good at. The only thing we are best at is offense. Don't forget, Before the Lakers, we were the best offensive team in this era!”

This is Gentry's response. After losing in the first game, he tried to restrict the Lakers by strengthening defense in the second game. However, everyone has seen the result. With the people the Suns have now, it is difficult to defend in a short time. Form combat effectiveness.

In fact, all teams with Nash as the core should realize that as long as Nash is there, there is no need to think too much about defense. Maybe you think that you can make up for Nash through the defense of the other four positions, but as you get to the back, you The more you will find that the opponent uses countless ways to attack your weaknesses, which is simply impossible to guard against.

Therefore, if a team with players like Nash wants to win, there is no other way but to attack.

Gentry figured this out and decided to give it a try. It was already 0-2 anyway, so there was no harm in giving it a try!

So two days later, the Lakers and Suns staged a new century, which can be said to be the craziest offensive battle in NBA history!

…

Time comes to the 24th, and the whole world is paying attention to Phoenix. This game determines the final result of the Western Conference Finals to a certain extent, so there are so many fans around the world watching. Look at the private stand on the tarmac. You will understand the plane.

Apart from last year's All-Stars, Phoenix hasn't been this lively for a long time.

When they arrived at the venue, celebrities from all walks of life also appeared one after another. Many Chinese people obviously came out to show their faces. Jay Chou, who had not appeared for a long time, also appeared in the front row. However, he was unlucky and did not buy a ticket for the first row. He could only stand in the front row. The third row cheered Ji Feng.

But this is normal. After all, the tickets in the first row have been booked by various prominent political figures. Even boxing champion Mayweather came with a group of girlfriends to support him. The photo with Ji Feng before the game also attracted many people's attention. Pay attention, after all, these two are currently the most lucrative players in their respective fields.

Everything was normal before the game, and the atmosphere on the Lakers side was extremely relaxed. But after the game started, Ji Feng's relaxed look finally disappeared, because he found that the Suns were obviously well prepared and in terrible shape!

"Oh, Nash, Nash broke through the pick-and-roll and passed the ball. It wasn't Stoudemire. Stoudemire passed. Grant Hill on the outside faced Artest's defense and took a step back for a three-pointer!"

"Yes~~!"

"Oh, the Suns made 5 of 5 three-pointers in the opening game, Grant Hill made 2 of 2, Nash made 2 of 2, and one was thrown in by Barbosa. This is simply unbelievable!" Yu Jia shouted.

That's right, in the first 7 and a half minutes, the Suns have already thrown in 5 three-pointers, and now, they have scored an astonishing 26 points, with a shooting percentage of over 60%.

The Lakers did not give in too much. Although the shooting rate was not as high as that of the Suns, relying on the protection of rebounds and the competition for offensive rebounds, the Lakers also scored 20 points. They are currently 6 points behind after this three-pointer.

However, Ji Feng immediately responded. After the pick-and-roll, he scored a three-pointer without stopping the ball. The point difference returned to 3 points again. This was Ji Feng's second three-pointer in this quarter!

The Suns' offense was equally sharp. Nash got rid of Ji Feng's entanglement under Stoudemire's pick-and-roll and reached the frontcourt. Just as people were waiting for cooperation, Nash suddenly changed his rhythm and scored a layup. The whole process only took 9 seconds. Not inferior to the Lakers at all.

"The two sides are fighting against each other. This has brought the offense to the extreme!" Director Zhang said while taking advantage of Ji Feng's free throw. At the same time, his eyes still did not leave the screen. This was one of the few comments he made in this game.

Because the Lakers also played very fast on the court.

Just as Coach Zhang finished speaking, Ji Feng had already caught the ball for the second time in the half. At the same time, he quickly made a smooth pass and scored two points with an alley-oop and a rebound. It also only took about 9 seconds.

The offense on the field was too exciting, the roars became louder and louder, and the fans watching the game were also excited. Both sides used their strongest weapons to attack the opponent's defense.

It went crazy, it went crazy!

As the saying goes, if you don't go crazy, you won't survive. Both sides are so jealous that they only have eyes for the other side's basket!

The scores between the two sides rose wildly. At the end of the first quarter, the Lakers scored a goal through a 4-second half-time period, and the score between the two sides was fixed at 50-50!
